Give reasons.
We can't identify taste when food is very hot.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Reason :
1) Most of the taste buds on the tongue are killed when the food is hot.
2) This prevents the person identifying the taste.
3) The perception of taste decreases when the temperature of the food rises beyond `35^(@)C`.
4) But we don't pay attention to it because we become worried about the burning feeling.
